  • Support for custom draw buttons in common controls.
  • Many more Media Foundation APIs implemented.

As for bug fixes, they noted 50 in total checked off. The usual applies, some bugs are older, that have been found as fixed and not necessarily fixed with this release. Fixes included for Metro Exodus, Bayonetta, Europa Universalis III, F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin and plenty more.

Just tested Darksiders: Warmastered Edition, videos still don't play without the native overrides. I'm glad the Wine team are tackling this important piece of the puzzle, it's a feature many games depend on.

Woohoo! Great stuff! I love these fortnightly updates. Great job Wine team!
